Statement: Should one year of army training be compulsory for all Indian citizens?

Argument I: No, the costs of training will be prohibitive and one year of labour will be lost. → Due to the training, there will be a loss of labour for one year. Therefore argument I is strong.

Argument II: Yes, army training helps make better citizens. → Clearly, it is not necessary that the army training helps to make a better citizen. The impact of training differs from person to person. So, the argument II is vague.

Hence, the only argument I is strong.
